Paying attention to the lyrics... quite complicated, Phil  :)

This is a superb song. Not only that - it's art.

Most amazing vocal flying harmonies...wow, great song scape-ing and splashes of really cool sounds that plunge forward...excellent shape-shiftin'-swingin' song XOXOXO

How did I manage to miss this stonking great hit for so long? Loving those sublime harmonies on the 'Good' and it feels like something Bowie and Mick Ronson should have made. Hammond vibe adds so much too. Glad I eventually caught up with this beauty. Cheers Phil for sharing

ooh those dynamics. to die for.  I like the standard, modest bass in the early verse, sets a pleasant starting point to a crazy adventure.

Very impressive all around - song, vocals, instrumentation - very cool stuff

such moments last. Great belated discovery, Phil. You got me high on this

Great work, Phil and Rick, with a huge, Pink Floyd power. Love those thick chords, great dynamics and beautiful balance between the drums, guitars and vocals.

JUST FOR A MOMENT I WAS FLYING

At first I just bounced off the floor 
Stood back up
Smiling broadly 
Floating on parental love
Safe as houses
Safe as mother’s milk

The ground just dropped away
Over and over I go
And just for a moment I was flying
And just for a moment it was good

Now I’ve fallen over
Never really got back up
Over and over
Down I go
‘Cos of you
‘Cos of wonderful you

If there's nobody listening (do they hear?)
If there's nobody there (do they see?)
Did I trip, did I really fall (did I fall?)
Or see wonderful you? (wonderful you!)
Wonderful you?

The ground just dropped away
Over and over I go
And just for a moment I was flying
And just for a moment it was good

Hands full of air
Lungs full of nothing
And I still see you everywhere
You still knock me over girl

[Sax Solo]

The ground just dropped away
Over and over I go
And just for a moment I was flying
And just for a moment it was good

At first I just bounced 
And stood back up
Smiling broadly 
Floating on parental love
Safe as houses
Safe as mother’s milk...

Composer/Guitarist/Producer

Songs: We find them unpainted in our hands, throw them up into the air of our imagination, turning them in the colours we see after we close our eyes until they feel just right, and sometimes we catch them perfectly, without blemishing them...

My music is on most platforms for your ease.

Wow!!  417K+ plays and 4,000+ valued followers and friends on SC alone, that provide lots of wonderfully helpful comments that fuel the next track! Really big thanks to the SC community for listening and providing such brilliant feedback and support. It means so much to myself and my collaborators - huge thanks.

I work in different styles, as the inspiration, dreams or bubonic plagiarism comes! I use Logic Pro X on Mac.
 
I write, produce and play all my own stuff (unless otherwise stated), play vintage Tokai Strats mainly, PRS Torero, Steinberger, Gretsch G2627T, Classical, Fender Dreadnought, Yamaha and Rickenbacker basses, keyboards and sax. I use Native Instrument's Komplete, Omnisphere 2 and my own organic samples.

I mix on Sennheiser HD 280 Pro's and HD 650's (closed and open headphones) when not making a bigger noise through my Yamaha HS8 studio monitors. I use Focusrite Clarett 2Pre ThunderBolt and Apogee audio interfaces, Neumann & iSK condenser & AKG dynamic mics. 

Hardware: Feb 1978 Marshall JMP 50W Combo, BOO & BOSS stomps

I love collaborating with other musicians and will compose with, play guitar for, produce, arrange, master or even just hum along with other SC musicians. Please ask!
